Dear [Your Elected Official],

<p>I’ll keep this short. Public lands matter—to me, to our community, and to the millions who hike, bike, camp, and explore them every year. They’re not just pretty places; they drive local economies, protect biodiversity, and give people space to breathe.</p> <p>Right now, these lands are at risk. Policies that weaken protections, cut funding, or sell off public land put our shared outdoor heritage in jeopardy. That’s a bad deal for everyone.</p> <p>I’m asking you to do three simple things:</p> <p>Protect public lands—oppose any effort to sell or weaken them.<br />Fund conservation—support real investment in maintaining trails, parks, and forests.<br />Keep access open for all—because the outdoors should belong to everyone.<br />This isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s an economic and quality-of-life issue, too. I’d love to hear where you stand.</p>
